_"Always Ready" - inside SGA 4:15 "Outcast"_


Ronon walked directly to Rodney's room. "You goin' with him?" he asked
bluntly.

"With him? Who? Where?"

"Sheppard. His father died. Heart attack. He's gonna go back to earth
for the ceremony, right? You goin' with him, or should I?"

"Oh my God, his father died? I - I'll go. I'll talk to Carter. Oh my
God. I can't. The kids planet, the kids - I'll talk to Carter."

"You can't go, let me know, I'll go."

"Yes, yes," Rodney said, distracted. "Of course, John, John. He, he'll
need someone there, with him. I'll talk to Carter right now, but -" He
looked up at Ronon. " - be ready."

"I'm always ready."

Rodney smiled. "Yeah, you so are."

OMG, the angst of *posting* the thing to an LJ community! Unbelievable! And I'm preserving the wonderful support I got from people in that insanity! It's part of what I experienced: writing again, then trying to post the ficlet, then the difficulties and the wonderful help from all over the world! An incredible experience! I'm so grateful for the help!

I'm so glad you loved the ficlet! The miracle of writing again after so many years - I'm still stunned! But it was *so* clear to me that Carter was written in the ep as telling John this traumatic news *in public* so that Ronon could pass the info along to team - starting with Rodney, of course! Glad you see the logic of my ficlet!

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. It means so much to me!
Love, max
